Here's the thing - I don't want the entire computer in Hebrew. My client speaks Hebrew, but he's a native English speaker. Is there any way to accomplish this?
To change the locale it's enough to set the LANG environment variable appropriately: LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 wine program.exe
The program runs from the CD drive, so I had to type LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 wine /media/cdrom0/diagnet.exe - and it worked :) Thank you! But now, how do I make it work permanently? Each time I launch it from the GUI afterwards, it still used the English locale.
Edit your shortcut and add the 'LANG=...' variable info before the wine command.
Could you be more exact? I think that's what I did...
Edit the gui shortcut (.desktop file) you're using to launch the program.
OK - you have all been great! It works :) Thank you very much. Ezra
